This years race was a huge success! Thank you to all who participated and volunteered your time.

Team VA Black Sea Vipers — These are the true heroes from HUD-VASH. These are the social workers on the streets finding emergency housing for homeless veterans. They identified a need and Warrior’s Restoration is filling that gap!

Tallahassee VA Mental Health — A team from the local VA clinics Mental Health Services going down with the ship. The “captain” was the one who told us of the need and started Warrior’s Restoration on it’s path!

Cardboard Boat from Defuniak Springs, FL

This is the first cardboard boat race in Tallahassee for the public to enter! We are excited to bring this to town and look forward to a splashing good time!

The purpose is to raise money for chronically homeless and at-risk veterans in North Florida. All proceeds will go to this purpose.

There are 2 different classes but many chances to win a trophy and bragging rights! Boats are judged not only on how well they float, but also on their outward appearance. We’ll be shallow and judge from shore! To qualify for the beauty pageant they must float as well.

The two racing classes are Open and Day of Race. The race directions are below:
